Install specific git commit with pip

I'm developing a django app and I'm using pip to manage my requirements. How can I do to install a specific git's commit?

In my case I need to install this commit: https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification/commit/2927346f4c513a217ac8ad076e494dd1adbf70e1

Solution

  • You can specify commit hash, branch name, tag.

    For the branch name and the tag, you can also install a compressed distribution. This is faster and more efficient, as it does not require cloning the entire repository. GitHub creates those bundles automatically.

    hash:

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@2927346f4c513a217ac8ad076e494dd1adbf70e1

    branch-name

    With git

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@cool-feature-branch

    or from source bundle

    $ pip install https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification/archive/cool-feature-branch.tar.gz

    tag

    with git

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@v2.1.0

    or from source bundle

    $ pip install https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz

    It is a not well-documented feature, but you can find more information at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/vcs-support/
